About
胜 (shèng) means victory. Its traditional form, 勝, is an ideogrammatic compound combining the radical 力 (lì, physical power) with an element meaning to bear a burden, originally signifying the strength to lift or sustain weight. The simplified form replaces the original components with 月 (yuè, flesh/body) and the phonetic element 生 (shēng). The meaning evolved from bearing a load to overcoming obstacles, defeating opponents, excelling beyond expectations, and describing superb or scenic places.
